Saint-Simonianism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint-Simonianism was a French socialist movement of the first half of the 19th century. The movement is named after Claude Henri de Rouvroy, comte de Saint-Simon, and was centered around the École Polytechnique.
After cca. 1830, the Saint-Simonians led by Barthélemy Prosper Enfantin formed an increasingly religiously-minded Messianic group, before being banned by the authorities in 1832.
